NEA has almost a 35-year relationship with FEMA. Although small, NEA is mighty and integral to national disaster support. While FEMA can fully support some disasters that impact the nation, FEMA also relies on augmentation from their Federal Partners. NEA, representing TVA, is a key player in FEMA’s disaster operations. NEA specializes in helping FEMA with Public Assistance, focusing on damages incurred to private nonprofit organizations and publicly owned facilities (roads, bridges, courthouses, schools, wastewater treatment plants, electrical distribution, city parks, etc.).
In the last 35 years, NEA has been deployed to no less than 42 states and two US territories. The link below is a map of current NEA disaster deployments as of July 26, 2024.
